As a firm that tracks a variety of technology and research arenas, we suggest economic development models that not only support federal initiatives and state requirements but also help foster local entrepreneurship and innovation. The opportunity lies in the commercialization, manufacturing, and distribution of innovative products within a state to markets outside of that state.
As a leader in educational technology, we provide customized, technology-based teaching tools, to facilitate continuous academic improvement for students and professional development in administrators and teachers. We are always interested in finding ways to incorporate technology into learning. Studies have shown that technology can be an inhibitor of knowledge when used as a tool to meet the needs stemming from various learning styles of students.
As a technology transfer agent, we assist academic research institutions to identify links to commercial and government agencies that can find value in their current research. We help identify funding solutions and demonstrations for potential licensees that have an interest in continuing research and product development with the University or National Labs.
